(... Continuation of my previous post) So the stepper motor still didn't have enough torque. No problem, I thought, a little more motor current should fix this. So I turned the potentiometer for setting the motor current on the A4988 stepper motor driver to the maximum position. The reference voltage "Vref" is set with this potentiometer. In combination with the resistor "Rs" built into the stepper motor driver (and the now set reference voltage Vref = 0.8V), the following motor current results according to the data sheet of the driver: Imtr = Vref / (8 * Rs) At this point I also noticed that the value 0.1Ohm was installed on the stepper motor for the "Rs" resistor. Sufficient for most stepper motors. Unfortunately I wanted to run my newly installed stepper motor with its maximum current of 1.7A. With this "Rs" value, however, a maximum of only 1A can be set. In order to extend the setting range for the motor current up to 2A, for example, the value for Rs must decrease to 0.05Ohm. Usually not a problem. Unfortunately I didn't have the 0402 SMD resistor there. But: I had an old defective motor driver with the same values. So if I were to unsolder the Rs from the defective motor driver and solder it in parallel to the Rs in the intact motor driver, the total resistance of the two Rs connected in parallel would have to reduce to 0.05Ohm. That's the plan. You can see the conversion in the video. And why that should still not lead me to my goal, you will see in the next post. 🙂 ⁣

This section of the pxlBlck_multiPCB is literally self-explaining. 😂 A large part of the new functionality is now running. I was very curious about the MAX98357 I2S Class D amplifier. This is connected to the ESP32 via I2S. MP3s can be played from the inserted micro SD card, web radio can be streamed or text can be read aloud. The goal is that the pxlBlcks will soon also be able to play audio data. For example, you could be informed acoustically about events in the SmartHome. Alternatively, you could also play a web radio stream in this way. 🙃⁣ The PCB is made by @pcbway. 😍

Complete build guide available here: https://nerdiy.de/en/howto-pxlblck-pxlblck_cassettelamp-aufbauen/

In the last few days I have finished the article for the pxlBlck_CassetteLamp. This lamp is a little homage to the time when music was not on a 512GB micro SD card but in the form of audio cassettes. I thought it was a shame to let the cassettes gather dust in a box in the basement and made a small decorative lamp out of them. With the help of a few # WS2812 LEDs, an ESP8266 and an old USB power supply unit, the pxlBlck_CassetteLamp can be built. With the help of the #pxlBlck plug-in, the lamp also gets a few SmartHome functions and can thus also inform about events in your SmartHome. In addition to the setting options via WiFi, the lamp can also be adjusted with the help of a pen - just as the cassette tape salad used to be wound up. You can find the build instructions including a list of needed materials and detailed pictures on my blog at Nerdiy.de. 🙃

Here is a short summary of the structure of the bracket for the new controller board of my #pcknplc machine. The board is mounted on the base plate using a 3D printed bracket, official_ruthex threaded inserts and a few screws. 🙃

In the meantime I have finished the holder for the tips of the #pcknplc machine. There is space for up to eight tips. Each individual tip is pulled into the correct end position by a small magnet. I've tried different versions and especially experimented with the distance between the magnets and the tips. There should be enough force on the tips to pull them into the correct position. At the same time, they should not be magnetized too much. In this way, I want to avoid that the potentially magnetized tips will attract components when they are not supposed to. 🙃 The holder is required later - depending on the component size - to automatically attach the correct tip to the pick head. 🙃⁣

It doesn't look like much, but it was quite a bit of work. 😂 The controller boards I have used so far are all based on the Marlin firmware. The controller board of my #pcknplc machine is based on the smoothieware. The latter uses a completely different concept for configuration. A couple of timing belts have suffered a bit, but now it's moving. 😍 🙃

In the last few days I fixed a few bugs in the #pxlBlck plugin. Now the TV simulator dial is working properly. This simulates the typical flickering of a television and can be activated, for example, when nobody is at home. With a little distance, the resulting flickering looks from the outside, viewed through a window, as if someone inside is watching TV. I implemented a code from @adafruit in such a way that it also runs in a "non blocking way" on the ESP. The color information comes from the "Color lines" of Disney films. 🙃⁣
In addition to this change, the RGBW handling has also been improved. Now RGBW Leds aka SK6812 are supported properly. Therefore the color menu has also been revised a bit. In addition, you can now switch between a twelve- and 24-hour mode for some dials. I hope you like the new features. 🙃⁣

Maybe you know those walls that don't hold any dowels. At least not if it has to hold more than its own weight in the wall. So I didn't want to drill new holes in the wall to hang up my new workbench lamp. Practically, a shelf hung exactly where the lamp should hang, which is secured in the wall with concrete anchors and should also bear the additional weight of the lamp. But since I didn't want to damage the shelf either, I designed a clamp bracket and 3D printed it. Held together by threaded inserts and four M4 screws, the bracket can be clamped onto the shelf and the lamp hooked into it. 🙃⁣

Short preview of the assembly of the #pxlBlck_10x10mini. I changed the design of the case so that it is easy to assemble and is held together with just one M2 screw threaded insert. Due to the higher resolution, even more clock faces can be shown on this display than on the pxlBlck_8x8. Scrolling texts, icons and the familiar animations also work on the display, of course. 🙃⁣
